another record Java benchmark
For those of you that know me quite well, know that I am a Java performance junkie at heart. And, know I just recently moved back to working on Java / JVM performance.
I haven't blogged about anything for quite some time. But, with Sun announcing a new world record benchmark I couldn't resist. What I think is more impressive, as it is quoted in today's press release, "The latest in a series of leading performance records, testing results were conducted on the Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition 5.0_06 with Java HotSpot (TM) Virtual Machine technology (2), the 14th world-record benchmark on the UltraSPARC IV+ processor-based platforms in just six months since launch."
I think that speaks volumes as to the improvements Sun has been making to the Hotspot JVM, i.e. (it's not just a one off world record, it's one of many in series over the past 6 months). I think with that kind of track record over the past six months, you can expect to continue to hear more and similar announcements in the futures.
